Problem... Noticed the output on this thing dropped significantly. Was driving me nuts. Decided to open it up and found the neck pickup (white) wire was broken off the pot. Fixed and back on the road again. Still loving this thing. About to put a Hipshot on it since we are doing more Drop D...

I put the Hipshots on 3 of my basses and all of them the lever is visible. I dont mind it at all. Did the screw holes and peg all align for you? Before I drop that $$$ on a BT2 I wanna make sure it will work. I have been going back and forth with a ruler for the last 20 minutes LOL. BTW How are...

Yes they do Except for ONE thing. I don'tknow if this applies to you but we played an outdoor gig where it ran into the night and things started to get a little wet. The strings felt real weird. Jumped on the back up bass that had EB's on it and finished the night normally. It was almost like...

It is a great bass... I just was not playing my bass as much as I was my new J bass nor my old 75 P bass. I sold it a year ago because someone should use it. It was just collecting dust. I think it was not a smart move for Fender to stop making the Dimension series. They replaced it with the...

Now that is one handsome beast

Depends on how is your "regret" gene? Will you sit there in 10 years and say "MAN! I wish I never got rid of that Hamer!" I find myself on eBay many times looking for the bass that got away (and there has been a few of them). If you have your heart set on a Musicman, then save up and get a...

I swear this bass is like a fine wine. It seriously gets better every time I play it. We did a gig this last weekend and even the sound guy (who was the sound guy the last time we played there) said "Your bass sounded awesome this time, what did you do differently?" The white bass with my 75th...

I LOVE Stratosphere! I built my Frankenstein from them using a PB&J active/passive body and a '62 Jazz neck. What do you mean that you dont like the paint?

Oh heck yeah! I got to play the P bass... Like I said, sure wish my bank account was 2200.00 heavier :D

Thanks for your input and decided to follow your advice. I decided to leave it alone and growing on me. Thank you!

To answer your question, YES! Not only am I digging it but like a fine wine it gets better with age (granted it is less than a year old) but it seems like every time I play it, I love it more. BTW I went back to the store where I bought it and the sales guy remembered me (That's cool) He even...

Nothing really to add but "+1" on Shorty's post. Wait... I lied. Just remembered an issue I had with my other Fender P... Same issue was a low output G. When I played my guitarist's bass, WHAT a difference. The strings I was playing were a light gauge string. Put Ernie Ball 105-50's and that...

QUESTION! So, I have been pondering this for a while and need input. The neck is too glossy. I like more of a matte finish and thinking of having the fingerboard edges rolled and the back of the neck sanded down a tad. Good idea or no? I know some people say "You are going to XXXX with the value...

Right? Why the cruddy strings? "Here is your new FERARRI!!! And we put on Costco tires for ya!" Put some awesome strings on an awesome bass please!!

Can I ask you a question? (I know, that was already a question LOL) on the side of the neck where the dots are. Where the rosewood meets the maple. Is it an even finish? Mine had some issues that needed to be addressed. The second issue i have is, I dont mind the clay dots on the fretboard...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I am. Welcome to the club!

Yeah I like them, got 2 for gigs... extendable and tough. I like that when you put the bass in the stand the latches lock it in place

First of all, Those are BASS stands ;) Those are Hercules stands. LOVE them! Hercules Stands GS414B PLUS Single Guitar Stand with Auto Grip System

Funny story I have to share. Last gig we played I brought out "The 75's" (My 75th AC J bass and my 1975 Precision) For the first set I played the Jazz. Second set I played the P bass. My guitarist said "you should have played the jazz bass the whole night. That thing sounded so fxxxxn' awesome!"...

There is something odd (in a good way) about the finish on this bass. Anyone else notice this? Its like it changes color in different light. I see pics of my bass in different band shots and it looks like I am playing two different basses. Sometimes the color looks dark and sometimes it pops the...

There are a few on Ebay. Actually there is one for 1700.00 which is pretty good.

WOAH! That is not a lot. Especially if this was sold globally? I gotta say I am even more happy about my purchase now. I remember when I was a teenager, the guitarist in a rival band had an "Anniversary" strat and I gotta admit I thought it was bad ass looking. I asked my guitarist how much...

BTW, Have any of you seen Dr Funk's new axe? He's using the 75thAC J bass

yeah they promised me a response on the numbers of P basses they made and I never heard back on that either. If it is around the 1100 number just as the J bass is, I dont see a lot of traffic on this page for it. WE ARE THE ELITE FEW!!! :hyper: As far as neck diving, my bass doesn't do it...

That is one gorgous hunk of lumber right there! (can I have it?) ;)

I just started with them and their service is OUTSTANDING. Guitar Center has lost it's edge. No customer service and the employees just dont care. They better step up their game ricky tick or they are really done. I have ZERO interest to step inside one of their stores ever again. I really dont...

Yeah... I apologize.

I just found out Sweetwater has an app... must have been living in a cave. LOVE their customer service. At least now if my bride says "YOU BOUGHT ANOTHER BASS??" I can say "No! I bought a bag of candy for $1200.00, they threw the bass in for free!" (disclosure: my bride never gives me a hard...

They answered the same question about my Jazz bass reasonably quick, like less than 24 hours. Now you are telling me the same thing my guitar tech and LFMS said as well. Sad to say but this delay in answering is become the norm for MANY companies. UGH! Not that my question requires any urgency...

Just an update that I have not heard back with a number from Fender. They did send me an email saying that "due to high volume of requests we are backed up but will get to my email shortly" So we shall see. (Edit: WHOOPS! Wrong thread. I thought this was the 75A/C bass club thread but I know...

She is beautiful. If I were only made of money I would have bought the set. My bass on the amp sounds awesome but when I plug it into the GB10 I can hardly hear it. because its an anniversary edition I dont want to modify anything electronic so I just practice with my other bass and take this...

Good advice. There are some good reusable ones I am going to look into... thanks!

I did a search and did not see anything on the "commemorative" basses. I did see one on the "anniversary" ones and WE (sniffle) were not included. WELL THEN! If we do not have one of these threads in motion, LETS GET GOING! I did find out that if you own a 75th A/C jazz bass, there were only...

Those are my exact words as well. They could have used those electronics/pups/configurations on a wild ass p or j bass. What the hell is with that shape? I call it the "chopping broccoli" bass. Its as if someone had a job to design a new bass, had a deadline, scribbled some poopie on paper then...

Ctrl/Alt/Delete that idea

I just bought the 75th ACE JB... I do have to admit, it has weight to it. Unfortunately, the guy who was finishing fingerboards that day must have had a HUGE fight with his wife, GF or both. The QC guy must have had the same issue. How it left the factory looking like dog poopie was disturbing...

I usually do not sell my basses because there is the regret that comes down the line. "Oh man why did I sell that ______?? It was such a good bass!" But I just recently sold my Fender Dimension to pick up the 75th anniversary Jazz bass. If nothing else, I wasnt using it anymore. I would rather...

QC in almost all industries have gone downhill. I work in the appliance field. It used to be 3-6% of all appliances sold had a first-year service issue. Now, it's something like 9-16%. Then, the manufacturers take it out on service when they really should be taking it out on the "bean counters"...

UPDATE! I went back to the store and one of the high ups at the store was... needless to say... PISSED. I really loved his attitude about it. He said I 'MAYBE' would put up with an MIM bass like that but not only it's an MIA bass but a 75th Commemorative Anniversary edition? No way man. I am...

Good morning! Its been a while since I have been here. I have a question for you Fender jazz bass fans. yesterday this beauty followed me home and I was excited to finally get a nice American made bass. Until... I was giving it a good look over and kind of surprised at the fingerboard edge...
